Churches within the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) denomination are structured as a representative democracy. Each year the congregation votes to elect individuals to serve on a leadership team called the Session. Members of the Session serve three-year terms, with a maximum of six consecutive years, and they oversee and make decisions about nearly all aspects of our life together as a church. 

Current Session Members:

• Judy Dersch (2025) – Clerk of Session
• Kari Brantley (2023) – Discipleship & Personnel
• Joyce Cunningham (2024) – Mission/Community Outreach & Nominating
• Gretchen Chamberlain (2025) - Discipleship
• Ned Dixon (2024) - Finance
• Mark Ely (2023) – Mission, Technology, and Generosity
• Bob Grether (2023) – Buildings and Properties
